Fear the Reaper

(Verse 1) Midnight’s breath on your windowpane Whispers soft, but it knows your name No lovers lost, no gentle tide Just shadows dancing where angels died (Pre-Chorus) You thought love could cheat the flame But the void still calls your name (Chorus) Fear the Reaper—he’s not your friend He won’t hold you, he won’t bend No blue-eyed savior, no soft descent Just a kiss that never ends (Verse 2) He wears your guilt like a velvet cloak Feeds on silence, chokes your hope No cowbell charm, no sweet refrain Just a dirge in your dopamine (Bridge) You lit the match, he struck the chord Now every heartbeat is a war No escape, no final plea Just you and him, eternally (Verse 3) He waits in dreams you used to trust Turns your gold to ash and dust No lullaby, no second chance Just a blade beneath the dance (Breakdown) Tick-tock, tick-tock—he’s counting down Your name etched deep in burial ground No more light, no more disguise Just the truth behind your eyes (Final Chorus) Fear the Reaper—he’s in your song He’s the reason you don’t belong No more dreaming, no more light Just the echo of your fight
